AMD FirePro V8800 2GB

Phoronix: AMD FirePro V8800 2GB

Last week AMD launched the FirePro V8800, which is their first workstation graphics card derived from an ATI Evergreen graphics processor and designed to be a step-up from the previously reviewed FirePro V8700 and FirePro V8750. The AMD FirePro V8800 features 2GB of GDDR5 video memory with 147.2 GB/s of bandwidth, 1600 Stream processors, four DisplayPort outputs, ATI Eyefinity support, DirectX 11.0 / OpenGL 4.0 support, OpenCL 1.0 capable, a full 30-bit display pipeline, Multi-View display support, and much. We have now carried out our Linux testing of this new ultra high-end workstation graphics card and have the results to share this morning.

i know no one how believes in the power of cloused source on an long therm period.

for exampel Blender and the new Opteron 6000
Blender is 200% faster on Linux than Windows.

in that point opensource beat cloused source

why use C4D or catia ?
i think on an long period of time Blender will beat this shit out of business. ok c4d first and then catia and thats only because catia have another point of use than blender and C4D.

Blender pulls FireGL cards out of business to because they wana fokus on opensource drivers.

I don't think the V8800 can be declared the "performance champion", or that we can accurately know the price to performance benefit of the V8800 without comparing it to a NVIDIA card in the same price segment.

ok ill try to aswer this to you.

there no benchmarks!

nvidia fermi and amd's R800 are OpenGL4+ directX11 grafic cards!

unigine haven for exampel are only openGL3.2! 3.2 ! 3.2! you can't check a ogl4.0 grafic card by only checking openGL 3.2!!!!

the 3D-cat stuff the same storry most of the professional benchmarks only use openGL2.1 or mybe OGL3...

there is no real benchmark for an REAL battle fermi VS r800!

why sould michael waste his time on checking openGL3.2 on OpenGL4 cards?

he only wait for real programms and real benchmarks with real DX11 apps on wine and real OpenGL4 apps on linux!
